Rollback granted

Hi Mxtt.prior. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Anarchyte (talk • work) 11:02, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Für Elise (diff)

Hello, thank you for your feedback. However, I believe that what I added was useful information. The sources that were already cited explaining that it is one of the most popular Beethoven compositions point to the fact that it is extremely famous in the realm of piano music in general. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pulmian (talk • contribs) 20:21, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

@Pulmian: Hello, thank you for taking the time to reply. I apologise for my edit undoing your good faith addition, perhaps it was somewhat hasty. I'll leave the page as you have edited it, as I can perhaps see the value of what you have added. It is, however, difficult to assess a composition's notoriety (ie. just how famous it is) as there are few references which would explicitly state this. I am not convinced of the value of describing it as one of the most famous pieces ever - surely this simply opens up debate as to what is famous and what is not - which is a very subjective argument. I have no intention of undoing what you re-added, so I'm leaving the page as it is, and I'm grateful you came here to discuss it briefly. Thank you for your contributions.

Lock AfD's

Hi Matt, hope you are well. Just a note to say I have closed a number of your AfD's on locks as 'procedural closes'. My rationale is below:

I have relisted three of these large batch of articles, so those three can be reviewed in detail. However, the remainder will be closed as procedural. This is because it is unfair to burden a small group of editors (on what is somewhat of a niche topic) with having to evaluate so many discussions at once. This number is obviously relative to the number of active/interested participants in a subject area (for example, a popular sport can likely handle more than 3), but to ensure fair and accurate participation and consensus, a smaller number is required for this topic area. I encourage anyone who wants to nominate these in the future, firstly explores the potential to merge and redirect (which can be done on the article talk page or a centralised location), or if they do wish to pursue a deletion discussion, does them in smaller batches. Thanks in advance. Regards,

I hope you can understand where I am coming from. By only running a smaller number at a time, it will allow a better participation from editors. That is why I have relisted three to continue the discussion. Any questions please let me know. Cheers, Daniel (talk) 00:36, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

My edit was constructive

Please do not revert my edits again, thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by HarryWilkingson823 (talk • contribs) 15:38, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello @HarryWilkingson823: I reverted your edit (specifically this edit) to the article Wood-fired oven, as it appeared to be vandalism. The sentence "The mass of the oven acts as a 'Boeing 747', which slowly releases heat over time." does not make sense, and clearly the previous version of this sentence, "The mass of the oven acts as a 'Thermal Battery', which slowly releases heat over time." does make sense. This is why I believed your edit was likely vandalism, and hence reverted your edit. If you would like to explain to me why you made the edit, and how it is constructive, please do so here or on the article's talk page. If the information you added is referred to in a source, please do feel free to re-add it with an appropriate citation. If you would like to remove the sentence (as it has had a citation needed mark since 2013), then you could also consider doing this. However, I will continue to revert apparent vandalism, such as the edit you made. Please also remember to sign your talk page messages with ~~~~ (see WP:SIG for more information about this or any help). Thank you. Mxtt.prior (talk) 15:50, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello

Hey. Nice chatting with you over at Talk:Big lie. By the way, do you have WP:DISCORD? It's basically a text chat room with other Wikipedians. I try to invite people when I can. It's a little less businesslike and more social on Discord. I hang out in the chat room #english-wikipedia. If not, no worries. See you around. –Novem Linguae (talk) 08:56, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Hey, nice chatting to you, and thanks for the support and guidance. I do have Discord, but until now I hadn't known about WP:DISCORD! I'll definitely join now, thank you very much for the invitation. See you around here and perhaps there too. Have a great day! Mxtt.prior (talk) 09:00, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Atlantic Records

Hi! Was reading the Atlantic Records wiki and it states that Phil Collins' manager was Tony Stratton Smith. In actual fact whilst "Strat" had managed Genesis in the early days on behalf of Charisma, the personal manager of Genesis and of Phil Collins was a different Tony Smith.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2a02:c7f:24a:bb00:15eb:1baa:f82f:6dad (talk) 13:04, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi @2A02:C7F:24A:BB00:15EB:1BAA:F82F:6DAD: Thank you for your suggestion. I am unable to make this change to Atlantic Records without some kind of verifiable reliable source. I suggest you leave a comment on Talk:Atlantic Records, so that someone there with more detailed knowledge or a source can add it for you. Please see WP:ER for guidance on how to make an edit request to a protected page. Hope this helps! Thank you, Mxtt.prior (talk) 16:15, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

Max Lugavere

Hi Matt, 

    Mark Seelig here again ... I'll leave you alone after this message.

I appreciate your willingness to even as much as read my comments and my messages. 

     Thank you for that.

I thought I saw somewhere that you sent another comment. 

     I have to admit that the talk system here is over my head and I cannot find things ...

Anyway ... I thought I saw you were talking about Wikipedia avoiding 'thoughts and feelings' in an article ... 

     That's very interesting with regard to the 'criticism' leveled by McGill University against Max Lugavere's book Genius Foods' ("... concluded that Lugavere lacked the credentials to accurately interpret the scientific literature used to substantiate his health claims ..."). This conclusion by McGill is precisely the above, i.e. an expression of thoughts and feelings!
      Any statement whatsoever Lugavere makes in his book is based on science and on accurate citations and quotes. McGill has either not read the book, or those leveling the criticism have a faulty understanding of what science is.
     Degrees and papers do not alone decide about qualifications. To believe so is superstitious. Peer reviewed and corroborated research is science and good qualification. The latter is open to anyone, regardless of degrees.
     Thank you,

Mark Seelig — Preceding unsigned comment added by MarkSeelig (talk • contribs) 20:02, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

Edit to Corsi page

Greetings: I added the edit because there is a bit of conversation going on on the Franconia College Facebook page about Corsi - I was there, I am confident about what happened, plus others have mentioned their recollections, which are very close to mine. We believe it is important to acknowledge that he once taught at a liberal, alternative college, even though his tenure there was relatively short lived. 146.168.58.53 (talk) 00:28, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

@146.168.58.53: Hello, and thank you for your contributions to make Wikipedia more informative. I removed your edit to Jerome Corsi because it appeared to be unsourced. Wikipedia policy says information should be attributable to a verifiable reliable source, and this policy is particularly strict when it comes to biographies of living persons.
WP:BLPSOURCE states “any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source using an inline citation; material not meeting this standard […] should be removed immediately and without discussion”.
Furthermore, WP:NOR states that “Wikipedia articles must not contain original research. The phrase "original research" (OR) is used on Wikipedia to refer to material—such as facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published sources exist.” It continues, “Do not add unsourced material from your personal experience, because that would make Wikipedia a primary source of that material.”
Unfortunately, I believe your edit was in violation of these policies, and therefore removed it. I hope you can understand why. Thank you for the time you have already taken to discuss the matter. If you would like to, please leave a reply here on my talk page.
If you would like to re-add the information, with a verifiable reliable source, I would encourage you to do so. Thanks, Mxtt.prior (talk) 19:36, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

Edits to Brodhead High School

Hey Matthew! I was wondering what was wrong with my reference on the Brodhead High School page? Just let me know, thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.21.95.10 (talk) 18:57, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi @69.21.95.10:! I removed your edit because it was initially unreferenced, then the reference you added was not WP:VERIFIABLE (WP:FAIL). You specifically stated "Social Studies teacher Paul Ritschard was credited with [the] idea to fake the students' deaths.", however the source which you added (http://time.com/4553052/brodhead-school-safe-driving-classmates-dead/) makes no mention of Paul Ritschard, or of anyone who was "credited with [the] idea". I don't believe any of the other sources currently on the page mention that name either. As the statement you added mentions a (presumably) living person, it also fails WP:BLP which specifically states: Contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion. It is particularly important on Wikipedia that an article discussing a person, and specifically here accusing them of something potentially contentious, is verifiable. Without a source, it could be deemed WP:LIBEL. I'd encourage you to re-add the information if you have a reliable source which reflects what you are adding to the article. Hope this helps! Thanks, Mxtt.prior (talk)
